- File transfer protocol selection
-
- RBBS-PC allows you to select a default file transfer protocol.
- RBBS-PC will use the selected protocol for all uploads and downloads unless
- you specify a protocol when downloading/uploading.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. You may want not to have a default transfer protocol if you use a
- variety of protocols. Select the N)one option and RBBS-PC will ask for
- your preferred protocol before each file transfer.
-
- 2. The protocol you want RBBS-PC to use must also be used by your
- communications package. Protocols available in RBBS-PC include Ascii
- (no error checking), Xmodem, Xmodem/CRC, and 1K-Xmodem. Others can be
- installed by the Sysop, such as Kermit, Windowed Xmodem, Zmodem, and
- Batch Ymodem. Xmodem is the most widely supported, but Ymodem and
- Zmodem are faster.
-
- 3. You can override the default my specifying the protocol on the same
- command line as D)ownload or U)pload. E.g. "D FILE.TXT C" downloads
- file FILE.TXT in Xmodem/CRC no matter what the default protocol is.
